Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 276 Chapter 276 After Joycelyn finished speaking, she blinked her clear, bright eyes and pursed her lips uneasily as she booked in Fillon & didn't occur toto ask back then. Shall I go ask my adoptive mother? "Let's wait a little longer. The Mercer family is in a mess now. They're not doing the demolition anymore. The money is gone. Bellina Schultz even got people to beat up the Mercer family members. If we approach them now, they prov bleverything on us," Ellison cautioned.

"Oh, she did that?" "Mm-hmm. When Bellina followed us to the hospital previously, she probably wanted to ask about something by was beaten up by that woman from the Mercer family," Ellison remarked calmly.

"Then we shouldn't show up in front of those two women during this period. They won't show us any counes, yydys murmured in concurrence.

"Yep," Ellison replied with a nod.

Joycelyn watched Ellison's handsface, which seemed immersed in profound thoughts. In her mind, this high and mighty CEO was a man of few words. Even his speech at the annual meeting was concise and to the point Yet here he was, gossiping with her about others behind their backs.

Such a contrast made her feel close to him, just as wife and husband should be.

"What are you sniggering at? And you looked so sinister while at it," Ellison asked.

"Nothing. It's just hard to imagine a CEO like you gossiping about others behind their backs "Well, I learned it from my wife." Ellison leaned closer and inhaled the faint scent of medicinal herbs on Joycelyn's body.

"You are practically marinated in medicinal herbs," he grumbled as he led Joycelyn upstairs.

"Really? It's not too bad, I hope? It can't be helped since medicinal herbs tend to smell like this. I've been giving you medicinal herbs in the past, so I'm used to the smell." Joycelyn sniffed her hand in response.

"It's awful. It doesn't smell good anymore." A look of annoyance crept over Ellison's handsface. He seemed very displeased now that his own beloved was also enveloped by that medicinal scent.

"Then why did you askto help you take the medicinal herbs back then?" As Joycelyn was dragged upstairs by Ellison, her dainty face was full of indignation.

"That was different," Ellison argued firmly.

"How was it different?" Joycelyn's charming face was puffed up like a petulant toddler, making her look innocent and cute.

“It still tasted sweet toward the end...” cthe reply.

Joycelyn was speechless. Her throat felt like it was on fire, and she didn't know what to say.

"So you despisenow, do you? You've only been married tofor less than half a year, yet you already despise me." Joycelyn lamented and sighed tically.

Ellison led her into the room and closed the door. He turned around and pressed Joycelyn against the door panel. He leane his handsface against hers as his two arms flanked her.

"Mrs. Grant, do you want to check my conscience before accusing me? Hmm?" Ellison gave a sly smile.

1/4 628 Chapter 276 The two of them were so close that their breaths intertwined, Joycelyn blinked innocently and gazed at the attractive-looking man in front of her.

Despite seeing him every day and night, this man could still make her heart race, especially when she was close enough to catch a whiff of the unique refreshing scent on his body. It was the calm and reassuring fragrance of agarwood.

Joycelyn's dainty face instantly turned red from embarrassment.

"Conscience? Letcheck it. Joycelyn reached out and slipped her exquisite hand under his suit to feel his pectoral muscles.

Under his taut and firm chest, she could feel his strong heartbeat, and his body heat seemed almost scorching to the touch. "Oh, what a firm conscience..." Ellison narrowed his eyes as he watched her misbehaving hand. "Mrs. Grant, you have matured..." Joycelyn turned redder and said petulantly, “Didn't you tellto check?" They had known each other for so long, but this was the first tshe had teased him. It felt quite exhilarating.

Ellison leaned closer to whisper into Joycelyn's ear. His voice was a little hoarse. "I have something else that's firmer. Do you want to check it?" The man's warm lips were nibbling her ear. It was a sensitive place to begin with, and it felt so ticklish that she trembled slightly.

Joycelyn shrank back and looked at him coquettishly with her twinkling eyes. "You're so despicable!" Ellison suddenly grinned. His exquisite face that resembled a classical painting was outlined with soul-stirring, perfect lines. "Mrs. Grant, what were you thinking? I was talking about having a firm mouth!" There was a strong emphasis on the word "firm" though the tone was clearly mocking.

Joycelyn was so exasperated that she almost burst out laughing.

"Get lost. Weren't you complaining about the smell of medicinal herbs on me? I'll go wash up." Joycelyn's dainty face clouded over. She no longer had her usual calm, gentle, and elegant temperament. She resembled an angry kitten that had been teased until it becfed up.

Ellison laughed as he was pushed away.

"Mrs. Grant, are you feeling shy? You've been washingwhen my hands were injured for the past few days. Now that I'm better, I'll help you wash?" Ellison followed Joycelyn eagerly.

However, in the next instant, there was a knock on the door.

The voice of Ellison's assistant, William Vance, rang out from outside, “Mr. Grant, Mr. Schultz Junior is here. He wants you to meet him and give him an explanation." Ellison stopped in his tracks and the smile on his face faded a little. "Bellina Schultz is awake?" "No, Mr. Grant." "Since she has not regained consciousness, just say that she lost her footing and fell in. The Grant family will pay for her medical expenses." Ellison's perfunctory reply was full of displeasure.

Although William was a little hesitant, he still acknowledged the instruction. “Sure, Mr. Grant." Joycelyn was leaning against the bathroom door fras she observed Ellison's disdainful expression. "Is this really good? 2/4 wed, Chapter 276 After all, he hails from the Schultz family, the richest family here." "But he is on the Grant family's territory. I have the final say." Ellison loosened his tie. His every move oozed the barely concealed sensuality of a refined scumbag Joycelyn's face was half hidden. Although she was shy, her eyes were sparkling as she gazed intently at the man. "It's just washing hands. Surely there's no need to take off your clothes?" Ellison's smile widened suggestively.

Meanwhile, William went downstairs and repeated Ellison's words verbatim to JerSchultz.

Not surprisingly, Jerwas furious when he held the reply. "Is this how the Grant family treat their guests?" "Mr. Schultz, that was an accident. However, since it was an injury sustained on the Grant family's premises, Mr. Grant has already said that the medical fees will be borne by the Grant family. We have also invited the best doctor from the Mason family to treat her. She will be fine." "I heard that she was thrown down by sguy called Davey!" "That was a misunderstanding," William said in an officious tone with a very gentle smile. He seemed totally unaffected by Jerome's anger.

"You guys are downright unreasonable!" Jerraged as he glared at the second floor with an ominous expression.

"Hmph! If anything happens to my younger sis, I won't let that Davey guy off." "Mr. Schultz, instead of blaming others, why don't you ask Ms. Bellina what she did? Mr. Grant has something on, and the elder Mrs. Grant is resting, so we won't send you off." William's attitude remained civil and polite throughout. No matter what Jersaid, his expression did not change.

The Schultz family's bodyguards and doctors got out of the car and prepared to transfer Bellina Schultz back.

Sibyl Grant showed up to stop them.

"Mr. Schultz, Bellina is still unconscious and it's not appropriate ve for her to be transferred. If you're worried, why don't you stay with her and leave after she regains consciousness?" Sibyl had a good impression of Jerand had the intention to let her daughter Tanya marry him. It would be easier to nurture their relationship if she kept him behind.

"No need. I'm afraid that if Bellina stays here, there will be many more accidents waiting for her." Jerwas very protective of Bellina.

Joycelyn was eavesdropping on the second floor. "Bellina is really lucky to have a brother who dotes on her.” m Judging from his tone, it seemed Jerknew what his younger sister had done, but he was still defending her. "Spoiling a child is equivalent to killing him. It's the swhen a brother dotes on his sister." It was clear Ellison did not see anything good in Jerome's behavior.

"From an outsider's perspective, it's indeed not good to spoil a child too O much. We mustn't do this when we have children in the future." Joycelyn had already learned from the mistakes of these people. In the future, when she beca mother, she must raise her children in a balanced manner so that she would not end up with such ill-mannered and uncivilized offspring.

After she finished speaking, Ellison did not reply to her. Instead, he was deep in thought.

3/4 Wed, 12 Mar Chapter 276 Looking at his conflicted expression, it was obvious he would find it hard not to spoil his own kids.

"We are so cultured and well-brought up. How can our offspring resemble that brat?" Ellison simply changed the topic instead of giving his affirmation.

Joycelyn nearly gagged. She was certain then that Ellison would spoil their kids rotten.

"You have been talking about children a lot recently. Don't tellyou can't wait until the end of the year to have children with me?" The corners of Ellison's lips curled up. His well-defined facial features morphed into an affectionate yet devilish look.

Joycelyn truly gagged this time.
